How much protein in a day???

[HenryBlake]

How much protein should I be taking a day?
My stats
6.2
214 pounds
43 years young
workout every other day at the gym.
100 ounces or more each day of the good ole H20.
strict diet of fruits, veggies, chicken, egg whites (about 2 p/d) and a little red meat. Lots of protein power each day before and after workout.
Right now I'm consuming about 100g of protein a day. Ive read on a couple of other sites that I should be consuming 1.5- 2X my body weight in protein which if my adding is correct, that is a WHOPPING 428 grams of p/pd. (that's a lot of fuckin protein)

Let the party begin...

BTW... I LOVE this place. When Im feeling down, I come to Elite Fitness, & within 2 minutes, I feel BETTER!!!!!

How can you only be consuming 100g ED if your saying you drink a shake before and after the gym. 2 scoops of most whey is 50grams?? 100 is not enough you need a min of 214grams...Are you on cycle? Post up your diet

 

[miplank]

I'd say atleast 1-1.5g per lb.

On cycle I was taking in between 390-440g per day.

The adverage is 1& 1/2 Gram for every pound of body weight, Your Training intensity has a lot to do with it also as well as your BMR.
Too much protein will stress the kidneys so drink lots of water thruout the day, Most of your protein should come from food, Dairy,Meats,Fish..etc.I also get an extra 100G with protein shakes.


Glad you feel better!

1 protein shake before & after w/o w/ musclemilk that im drinking is 32g of p. x2 =64 grams + eggs that I consume, plus all my other food intake=100 grams p/day +/- 10 grams.

Thats why I'm here guys, to get the info.

Tell me what protein shake has 50g p/ps and I'm on my way to the store..

300mg test cyp, 300mg deca per week.
200mg B6 ed
500mg B12 ed
10mg nolv ed
3 tabs t-bomb each am before w/o

This is very true sometimes you cant stress it enough to people. Alot of guys have too many shakes and complain of gas and what not. The quality of the protein is important too I mix 1 scoop ISOpure with 1 scoop ON ProComplex.

I forgot to mention, I found a nice receipe on another forum for this:

4 cups of oatmeal
1 cup of peanut butter
4 scoops of your favorite power
a cup or 2 of water depending on how thick you want it.
mix together, microwave on high for 3-5 minutes
Enjoy BEFORE your w/o
haven't tried it yet, but tommorrow I will.
Sounds like the ultimate liquified oatmeal cookie

My brother, what were you eating each day to consume 390-440g per day?

Care to share?

I have been fooling myself in thinking I was downing enough protein each day.

Live and learn

you are on cycle so you should eat at least 3g protein per lb of bw per day. get some carbs in to.

 

[HenryBlake]

What are you guys eating each day to consume that many grams of protein.
No matter what I eat, I'm now consuming about 200g of p/pd.
What food has the most protein per serving.

beef is the ultimate source of protein. next to beef is bison if you can get a lean cut. i eat mostly those 2 but i also drink shit loads of milk and i eat eggs, chicken and once in a while turkey or pork. its all about the right balance. you need to metabolize the food quickly so you can eat more. i find that to keep my carbs higher than my protein and 60% complex 40% simple and also to eat a serving of greens with every meal helps a lot. part of what makes this work is eating 10 meals per day not counting the post w/o meal that i eat before leaving the gym. gym days i eat 11-12 meals.

 

[enacer420nj]

Your body can only absorb so much protein the rest will get shitted out

 

[dr.shavargo]

i herd it was 2g of protein per lb of weight?

 

[pmd287]

Henryblake are you counting the protein in everything you eat? If you are eating enough calories a lot of it should be protein, i was getting around 430 grams a day at 4200 calories, so its easy to pass the 200 mark. Hit up extra lean beaf man. Its the best 350 calories and 50 grams of protein, that will stock you up on protein.

I'm working on doing my calculations for all my food intake.
I'm still learning this diet thing all over again.
Things I learned when I was 25 no longer hold true.(i'm 43 now)
I love to eat good lean beef & Bison(that sounds kinda GAY!)
I'm trying to watch my calorie intake more than anything right now, I need to get rid of the "gutter" over my hips.

I tried the pre-workout oatmeal receipe noted before in this thread. It was freakin delicious.
I had to experiment with the amounts tho.
What worked for me was 1/2 cup of raw regular oatmeal
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
2 scoops of Muscle Milk power
1 cup of water.
Mixed everything together, microwaved on high for 2 minutes, mixed again, mico'ed again for another minute, added about 1/4 cup 2% milk.
Ate the entire bowl and LOVED IT!!!
Felt great while I worked out.
Felt even better taking a dump later.

I agree with this, most of the time i average 1/2 to one gallon of milk per day!

I also have 6 smaller meals thru out the day.
Snacks? What else Needto's Protein Bars!

Alrighty then, just add some raisins my friend. Liquified oatmeal/raisin cookie

It's really not a shake. Made it a couple of days ago, more like hot cereal.
